Eliminate Congressional Slush Funds Act

This bill permanently cancels unused funds from the Department of Commerce's Nonrecurring Expenses Fund, which were set aside under the 2023 Fiscal Responsibility Act. It specifies that this cancellation won't count toward federal budget caps or allocation rules under existing budget laws. The bill directly affects how leftover government funds are handled within the Commerce Department's budget, eliminating a specific account for nonrecurring expenses.
